Is it possible to use my existing furniture and décor?, How do I interact with my designer and be a part of the design process?

After selecting your package, you can interact with your designer through a call, email or through our support team, whatever suits you best. Tell them what you love about your space, what you would like to change, and what pieces you want to give new life to. Our designers will incorporate your treasured items and can find perfect complementary pieces, so you will always get a look that is 100% custom to you.

How does the process work?

After taking our style quiz and providing some information about your space, you'll launch your design project and begin receiving preliminary style boards, also called First Looks, from our designers. After all of your submissions are in (you'll receive at least 2 First Looks boards), you will pick the designer of your choice, who you want to work with. Then, you'll work one-on-one with your designer to complete the design for your space, and once you've approved the final design, your designer will deliver a Final Design Package ( According to your selected package) that includes ( common to all packages) - your final style board(s), a floor plan, set-up instructions and a shopping list complete with links to purchase all of your products from our product section at the click of a button.Note – The contents of the Final Design Package depend on the package purchased by you, each package includes different levels of details. For a comprehensive and fully detailed Design Package we recommend the Platinum Package.

How long does a design project take?

A design project typically takes about 2 – 4 weeks for a single room project. If you're doing a multi-room project, you'll be put in touch with your designer to coordinate for additional days to finish off your project. Need more time? Contact support@gharcentre.com, and we'll extend your timeline.

How will the designers know what I like?

Designers will look at all of the information you've added to your Design Brief about your personal style and your space. It's important to submit a complete Design Brief as our designers need this to best understand the layout and vision for your space. You will also be given an option in your brief to upload pictures of design ideas and products you like, as well as special instructions for your designer For eg – The use of a particular color or material etc. At least 2 designers will then create an initial First Look based on your preferences, and once you choose your favorite designer, you'll have plenty of time to work together to edit that design until it reflects your vision for your space.

What's a First Look?

A First Look is a preliminary style board, created by a designer and submitted to you for your review during the first phase of your design project. Think of it as a designer's first impression of your space, based on your Design Brief details. Remember, the First Look is not the final design. This is just a starting off point for you and your selected designer. Check out an example board below:
